Fox Footy Ladder Range Predictor

MELBOURNE

The Demons made it all the way to the Preliminary Final in 2018 before being thumped by the eventual premiers. However, with one of the greatest players in the competition at their disposal, Max Gawn’s ruck dominance could well help the club push into the top two. Fox Footy analyst David King is among those who believe the new rules could help the Demons dominate and if Clayton Oliver has yet another dominant season, all signs point to improvement from Melbourne.

Range: 1-5

    uncanny - i'd be thinking 100% of people who care for football would be doing this also.

    Three teams ranked as 1-5.

    MFC, Richmond and WCE.

    Boy we are in rarified company.

    Could this be it guys ? ... nervous just thinking about it

    The first three games will be crucial. Port, Geelong and Essendon. We are favourites in all three and need to win them. Last year we would have said they are 50/50 games but this year they are more like 60/40

    I was surprised that Collingwood was only rated 2-5.

    I said it last night on the podcast that never in my life have we had so much hype surrounding us. Never have 9 out of 22 herald sun "expert" had us for premiers. Almost all had us as Top 4. That is unheard of. Dare to dream.

    Not to be the voice of doom but the last 3 years the majority of pundits have had GWS as flag favourites and they haven’t even made a GF yet...

    ...and if we loose 2 out of the first 3 games just watch all those so called 'footy experts' do a 180 and start asking "maybe we have all overrated Melbourne on the back of their finish to last year, because the way they are playing right now, forget top 4, they will be lucky to make the finals" ...which will all still just be as Goody and @In Harmes Way suggest 'Fugazi'. Demonland would go into a total melt down of negativity as well.  That's the delayed onset MFCSS in me.

    That all said, I will be so totally stoked if we have a dream start to the season and give ourselves a great platform from which to solidify a top 2 - 4 position over the rest of the season in a manner like West Coast did last year.  The has been one or two occations that I recall in my lifetime which the MFC had a good start to the season and we're sitting on top of the ladder after half a dozen games or so - gee that was a nice feeling at the time.

    Must say I like the approach of this article in predicting ranges where they think teams will end up.  So much can happen during the course of the season, that only fools would think they could pick the exact ladder position that most teams could finish.  The safest bet would probably have been for GC and Carlton to finish last and second last, but right no, St Kilda look like they might even enter that mix as well.

    Last year had to explain to a Chinese friend what "keeping a lid on it" meant. He's a mad Collingwood supporter. ( I know, that's a whole other story). Mind you, he didn't know what "Colliwobbles" was either. Happy to explain that to him! Had to remind him about keeping a lid on it recently. Just not comfortable being one of the favourites!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
